[what's up]

I hadn’t thought of that, but your right, Putin is sort of the Russian version of Reagan.

Ridiculous statement of the week.

Really quite absurd.

[TexasFreeper2009]

you only think that because you lack the ability to put yourself into someone else’s shoes. It's called empathy.

Imagine your an average run of the day Russian... think of all the dispiriting things that have happened to your country over the last few decades...

Now the knight in shinning armor appears and is bringing back your pride and hope for the future.

That's exactly what Reagan did for us after the Carter years, and it's what Putin is doing for the average Russian citizen now. Bringing back pride and hope to a dispirited people.
